Starting this thread to post pictures I consider interesting, as well as to keep a kind of blog of what I'm up to in my poker life.
Bit about me
21 y/o university student here in the UK at Birmingham. Have played live poker for around a year now and have around 800~ hours. Beginning of November I decided to start playing online as well due to live poker taking up a lot of my time and ruining my sleep pattern! Started at 25nl had to drop down to 10nl, beat that moved up, beat 25nl and now started playing 100nl zoom.
Goals
- £50k total profit for 2014 w/ combined live and online winnings
- Be more frugal irl so I can play the higher PLO games live w/ decent BRM
View on BRM/online poker
Due to starting with a tiny roll for live poker and building it by firstly grinding the £100 buyin games and now playing the £500/1k buyin NLHE and PLO games, when transitioning to online due to being 'overolled' for the limits, I simply moved up/down depending on how I felt when playing that limit. If I thought i was getting crushed I moved down to learn and if I thought I could beat the game I would put in a decent sample to make sure I was a winner then move up.
I play zoom because I predominantly play online poker to get better AT poker, not to bum hunt for pure profit! I think this might be more profitable long term due to gaining a greater understanding for the game by playing against regs a lot and having to improve constantly to beat the games and move up.
Hope you enjoy my thread and I will do my best to keep it updated
